例如,如图2所示,透光功能层250中位于开口310内的部分靠近衬底基板100的表面比限定部320的至少部分远离衬底基板100的表面更靠近衬底基板100。例如,透光功能层250在垂直于衬底基板100的平面上的正投影与至少部分限定部320在该平面上的正投影交叠。例如,平行于衬底基板100的平面穿过至少部分限定部320以及透光功能层250。
在一些示例中,光转换层240包括量子点。本公开实施例不限于此,光转换层还可以包括荧光材料。例如,当第一颜色入射光入射到光转换层240后,光转换层240的材料受到第一颜色入射光激发而发射其他颜色的光,如第二颜色光。
在一些示例中,如图2所示,光转换层240位于开口310内的部分远离衬底基板100的表面比限定部320的至少部分远离衬底基板100的表面更靠近衬底基板100。例如,光转换层240可以完全位于至少限定部320限定的开口310内。
例如,如图2所示,透光功能层250位于开口310内的部分远离衬底基板100的表面比限定部320的至少部分远离衬底基板100的表面更靠近衬底基板100。例如,透光功能层250可以完全位于至少限定部320限定的开口310内。

在一些示例中,如图2所示,光转换层240位于开口310内的部分远离衬底基板100的表面的中心部分比边缘部分更靠近衬底基板100。例如,光转换层240位于开口310内的部分的远离衬底基板一侧的表面为凹陷的表面,且该凹陷的表面中边缘位置处最高点比限定部320远离衬底基板100一侧的表面更靠近衬底基板100。
例如,如图2所示,透光功能层250位于开口310内的部分远离衬底基板100的表面的中心部分比边缘部分更靠近衬底基板100。例如,透光功能层250位于开口310内的部分远离衬底基板100一侧表面可以为向衬底基板100凹陷的表面。

例如,第一绝缘层400可以为封装层,以对发光元件的发光功能层和第二电极进行封装。例如,封装层远离衬底基板100一侧的表面到衬底基板100之间的距离d1与限定部320的至少部分远离衬底基板100一侧的表面到衬底基板100之间的距离d2差至少5微米。例如,上述距离d1与距离d2之差可以为5.5微米。例如,上述距离d1与距离d2之差可以为6微米。例如,上述距离d1与距离d2之差可以为6.5微米。例如,上述距离d1与距离d2之差可以为7微米。例如,上述距离d1与距离d2之差可以为7.5微米。例如,上述距离d1与距离d2之差可以为8微米。例如,上述距离d1与距离d2之差可以为8.5微米。例如,上述距离d1与距离d2之差可以为9微米。例如,上述距离d1与距离d2之差可以为9.5微米。例如,上述距离d1与距离d2之差可以为10微米。
例如,如图2所示,第一绝缘层400覆盖限定部320以及开口310,且光转换层240位于开口310内的第一绝缘层400上。例如,第一绝缘层400位于开口310内的部分远离衬底基板100一侧的表面为平坦的表面。
例如,如图2所示,光转换层240与发光功能层230之间仅设置有第二电极220以及第一绝缘层400,由此可以极大地减小光转换层与发光功能层之间的距离。
例如,光转换层240与发光功能层230之间的距离小于5微米。例如,光转换层240与发光功能层230之间的距离小于4.8微米。例如,光转换层240与发光功能层230之间的距离小于4.5微米。例如,光转换层240与发光功能层230之间的距离小于4.2微米。例如,光转换层240与发光功能层230之间的距离小于4微米。例如,光转换层240与发光功能层230之间的距离小于3.7微米。例如,光转换层240与发光功能层230之间的距离小于3.5微米。例如,光转换层240与发光功能层230之间的距离小于3.3微米。例如,光转换层240与发光功能层230之间的距离小于3微米。

例如,如图2所示,发光功能层230、第二电极220以及第一绝缘层400的总厚度小于限定部320的厚度,以使得光转换层240可以形成在限定部320限定的开口310内。
在一些示例中,如图2所示,第一绝缘层400包括至少两层膜层,如膜层410和膜层420,且不同膜层的厚度差小于1微米。例如,不同膜层的厚度差小于0.9微米。例如,不同膜层的厚度差小于0.8微米。例如,不同膜层的厚度差小于0.7微米。例如,不同膜层的厚度差小于0.6微米。例如,不同膜层的厚度差小于0.5微米。例如,不同膜层的厚度差小于0.4微米。
例如,第一绝缘层400可以包括至少两层无机绝缘层。例如,第一绝缘层400包括的各膜层可以均为无机层。例如,第一绝缘层400包括的各膜层可以均含有硅(Si)。
在第一绝缘层作为封装层时,通过仅设置厚度较薄的无机绝缘层,可以尽可能保留开口的深度,以在开口中形成,如打印光转换层。当然,本公开实施例不限于此,第一绝缘层还可以包括有机绝缘层。
例如,限定部320被垂直于衬底基板100的平面(如XZ面)所截的限定部截面可以为梯形,且梯形斜边与下底之间的角度较小,如不大于45度,有利于增加限定发光功能层的最大开口与限定光转换层的最大开口的比例。
图3为根据本公开实施例的一示例沿图1A所示BB’线所截的局部截面结构示意图,图4A为沿图1A所示CC’所截的局部截面结构示意图。
在一些示例中,如图1A至图4A所示,多个发光元件200包括至少两种颜色的发光元件200,如第一发光元件201、第二发光元件202以及第三发光元件203,位于相邻不同颜色的发光元件200对应的开口310之间的限定部320包括第一子限定部321,位于相邻且相同颜色的发光元件200对应的开口310之间的限定部320包括第二子限定部322,第一子限定部321的最大厚度大于第二子限定部322的最大厚度,第二电极220中覆盖第二子限定部322的部分连续设置。
上述第二电极220中覆盖第二子限定部322的部分连续设置指覆盖第二子 限定部322远离衬底基板100一侧的表面和覆盖第二子限定部322侧表面的第二电极220是连续的结构。例如,第二电极220覆盖至少两个发光元件的部分为连续的结构。
例如,第一子限定部321的最大厚度与第二子限定部322的最大厚度之差至少为1微米。例如,第一子限定部321的最大厚度与第二子限定部322的最大厚度之差为2微米。例如,第一子限定部321的最大厚度与第二子限定部322的最大厚度之差至少为3微米。例如,第一子限定部321的最大厚度与第二子限定部322的最大厚度之差至少为4微米。例如,第一子限定部321的最大厚度与第二子限定部322的最大厚度之差至少为5微米。例如,第一子限定部321的最大厚度与第二子限定部322的最大厚度之差至少为6微米。例如,第一子限定部321的最大厚度与第二子限定部322的最大厚度之差至少为7微米。
例如,如图1A至图4A所示,限定部320包括围绕多个发光元件200的一圈环状限定部323,该环状限定部323的最大厚度大于第二子限定部322的最大厚度,以将光转换层240限定在像素限定图案300开口310内,防止光转换层240溢出限定部320。例如,环状限定部323的最大厚度与第一子限定部321的最大厚度相同,但不限于此,环状限定部的最大厚度可以大于第一子限定部的最大厚度,也可以小于第一子限定部的最大厚度。
例如,如图2和图4A所示,第一子限定部321的远离衬底基板100一侧的表面包括的斜坡的坡度角与第二子限定部322的远离衬底基板100一侧的表面包括的斜坡的坡度角相等。当然,本公开实施例不限于此,第一子限定部的远离衬底基板一侧的表面包括的斜坡的坡度角可以大于第二子限定部的远离衬底基板一侧的表面包括的斜坡的坡度角,以提高第二电极在覆盖第二子限定部位置处的连续性。
例如,如图3所示,光转换层240覆盖第二子限定部322远离衬底基板100一侧的表面,如光转换层240在第二子限定部322处为连续结构。例如,光转换层240包括位于相邻第二子限定部322限定的开口之间的部分以及覆盖第二子限定部322的部分。
例如,如图3所示,光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧的表面比第二子限定部322远离衬底基板100一侧的表面更远离衬底基板100。例如,光转换层240位于第二子限定部322上的部分远离衬底基板100一侧表面比第一子限定部321远离衬底基板100一侧表面更靠近衬底基板100。
例如,如图4A所示,在第二子限定部322的最大厚度小于第一子限定部321的最大厚度时,相邻第一子限定部321之间形成的开口用于限定光转换层240的位置,防止光转换层240溢出限定部320。此时,光转换层240可能覆盖第二子限定部322。例如,相邻且颜色相同的发光元件200的光转换层240可以为连续结构,相邻且颜色不同的发光元件200的光转换层240之间设置有第一子限定部321以实现两者间隔设置。
图2示意性示出覆盖多个第一子限定部321的第二电极220为连续设置的膜层,但实际产品中,第一子限定部321的厚度设置的较大以形成容纳光转换层240的开口310时,第二电极220容易在第一子限定部321的边缘处断开,导致覆盖相邻且不同颜色发光元件200之间的限定部320的第二电极220是非连续膜层而影响显示效果。本公开实施例的一示例提供的显示基板中,通过将限定部设置为具有至少两种不同厚度的子限定部,在厚度较小位置处保证第二电极的连续性,以提高显示基板的显示效果。
图1B为根据本公开实施例的一示例提供的显示基板的局部平面结构示意图,图4B为沿图1B所示C1C1’所截的局部截面结构示意图。图1B所示显示基板与图1A所示显示基板的不同之处在于像素限定图案的开口的形状不同以及第二子限定部的宽度不同。
例如,如图1B和图4B所示,第一子限定部321可以与第二子限定部322为一体形成的结构,也可以为分别形成的结构。例如,在第二子限定部322仅包括厚度较小的部分,第一子限定部321包括与第二子限定部322厚度相同的部分(如虚线以下的部分)以及超出第二子限定部322的部分(如虚线以上的部分)。例如,第一子限定部321与第二子限定部322连接的位置处可以为弧面,以使第一子限定部321和第二子限定部322形成的凹陷部被XZ面所截的截面可以为U形或者V形。
图5为根据本公开实施例的另一示例沿图1A所示DD’线所截的局部截面结构示意图。图5所示显示基板与图3所示显示基板的不同之处在于:第一子限定部321远离衬底基板100的一侧表面包括第一斜坡3210,第二子限定部322远离衬底基板100的一侧表面包括第二斜坡3220,第一斜坡3210的坡度角α1大于第二斜坡3220的坡度角α1。图5所示显示基板中的衬底基板、第一绝缘层、发光功能层、第一电极等结构可以与图3所示显示基板中的衬底基板、第一绝缘层、发光功能层、第一电极等结构具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。
上述第一子限定部远离衬底基板的一侧表面形成的第一斜坡的坡度角为第一子限定部靠近衬底基板的部分表面与平行于衬底基板的平面之间的角度,上述第二子限定部远离衬底基板的一侧表面形成的第二斜坡的坡度角为第二子限定部靠近衬底基板的部分表面与平行于衬底基板的平面之间的角度。上述第一子限定部的坡度角可以指第一斜坡被XZ面所截的形状为直线或曲线,该直线与第一电极接触位置的夹角,或者该曲线与第一电极的交点处与X方向之间的夹角,上述第二子限定部的坡度角可以指第二斜坡被YZ面所截的形状为直线或曲线,该直线与第一电极接触位置的夹角,或者该曲线与第一电极的交点处与Y方向之间的夹角,但不限于此,例如,上述坡度角可以指斜坡被XZ面(或YZ面)所截的曲线中点处切线与X方向(或Y方向)之间的夹角。
图5所示示例中的显示基板中,通过将第二子限定部的坡度角设置为小于第一子限定部的坡度角,以实现覆盖第二子限定部的连续性,提高显示基板的显示效果。
例如,如图5所示,第二子限定部322的最大厚度较大以实现相邻且相同颜色发光元件200的光转换层240的间隔设置。例如,第二子限定部322远离衬底基板100一侧的表面比光转换层240靠近衬底基板100一侧的表面更远离衬底基板100。例如,第二子限定部322远离衬底基板100一侧的表面可以比光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧的表面更远离衬底基板100,也可以比光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧的表面平齐,或者比光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧的表面更靠近衬底基板100,本公开实施例对此不作限制,可以根据第二电极连续性情况进行设置。
在一些示例中,如图1A至图5所示,沿第一方向排列的相邻的至少两个发光元件200发光颜色相同,沿第二方向排列的相邻的至少两个发光元件200的发光颜色不同,第一方向与第二方向相交。图1A至图5示意性的示出第一方向为Y方向,第二方向为X方向。但不限于此,第一方向与第二方向可以互换。例如,第一方向与第二方向垂直,但不限于此,第一方向与第二方向之间的夹角可以为70~110度,或者80~100度,或者85~95度。例如,第一方向和第二方向之一为行方向,另一个为列方向。
在一些示例中,如图1A至图5所示,限定部320包括多个第一子限定部321和多个第二子限定部322,至少一个第一子限定部321沿第一方向延伸,且相邻两个第一子限定部321之间设置有沿第二方向延伸的第二子限定部 322。例如,相邻两个第一子限定部321之间设置的第二子限定部322彼此平行设置。例如,图1A示意性的示出限定部320限定的开口310的形状可矩形,但不限于此,开口310的形状还可以为图1B所示的长条形,或者其他形状,如椭圆形、圆形、梯形等。
例如,第一子限定部321与第二子限定部322可以为在同一步工艺中形成的一体化设置的结构,也可以为分步骤形成的结构。例如,环状限定部323可以与第一子限定部321和第二子限定部322为在同一步工艺中形成的一体化设置的结构,也可以为分步骤形成的结构。
在一些示例中,如图1A和图3所示,显示基板还包括信号传输线500,位于第一电极210面向衬底基板100的一侧。显示基板包括显示区101以及围绕显示区101的周边区102,信号传输线500位于周边区102。例如,信号传输线500可以为围绕显示区101的一圈走线。

例如,如图1A和图3所示,信号传输线500被配置为向第二电极220传输VSS信号,如负电压信号。
例如,如图1A和图3所示,第二电极220的边界超出发光功能层230的边界,第二电极220的超出发光功能层230的边界的部分与传输部510电连接。
例如,如图1A和图3所示,环状限定部323和与其最近且间隔设置的第二子限定部322之间设置有一开口3100,该开口3100不设置发光元件。
例如,如图1A和图3所示,位于该开口3100中的第二电极220与传输部510电连接。例如,传输部510与该开口3100正对设置。
例如,如图1A和图3所示,该开口3100内可以设置部分发光功能层230,也可以不设置发光功能层230。例如,该开口3100内,第二电极220的至少部分不与发光功能层230交叠。例如,该开口3100内的第二电极220不与发光功能层230交叠的部分与传输部510电连接。
例如,如图1A和图3所示,该开口3100内可以设置与第一电极210同层设置的电极连接部501,第二电极220可以通过电极连接部501与传输部510电连接。当然,本公开实施例不限于此,该开口内也可以不设置与第一电极210 同层设置的电极连接部,第二电极通过绝缘层中的过孔与传输部510电连接。
本公开实施例通过将位于像素限定图案中心区域的部分限定部的厚度设置为小于像素限定图案边缘的限定部的厚度,且将与第二电极电连接的信号传输线的传输部设置为位于边缘的限定部的至少部分位置靠近厚度较小的限定部的一侧,可以在实现显示区内至少部分区域设置的第二电极连续设置的同时,将该部分连续设置的第二电极与上述传输部电连接以实现第二电极良好的电连接效果。
例如,显示基板还包括与发光元件电连接的像素电路以驱动发光元件发光,显示基板还包括与像素电路电连接的数据线,数据线位于发光元件的第一电极与衬底基板之间,信号传输线可以与数据线同层设置。
例如,传输部510可以与信号传输线500同层设置,如传输部510可以为信号传输线500的一部分。
例如,传输部510可以位于信号传输线500所在膜层与发光元件200的第一电极210所在膜层之间。例如,传输部510可以与第一电极210的至少部分同层设置。例如,传输部510可以位于发光元件200的第二电极220所在膜层与第一电极210所在膜层之间。
图2、图4A以及图5没有示出第一电极210与衬底基板100之间的膜层,图3仅示意出传输部510以及位于传输部510与第一电极210之间的绝缘层,而第一电极210与衬底基板100之间的其他膜层没有示出。
图6为根据本公开实施例的另一示例提供的显示基板的局部平面结构示意图,图7为沿图6所示EE’线所截的局部截面结构示意图。图6所示示例中的显示基板与图1A所示显示基板的不同之处在于限定部320的结构特征不同,图6所示示例中的显示基板包括的衬底基板100、发光元件200以及第一绝缘层400可以与图1A所示示例中的显示基板包括的衬底基板100、发光元件200以及第一绝缘层400具有相同的特征,这里不再赘述。
在一些示例中,如图6和图7所示,显示基板还包括电极搭接部520,电极搭接部520位于限定部320面向衬底基板100的一侧,且沿垂直于衬底基板100的方向,限定部320与电极搭接部520交叠。限定部320包括暴露电极搭接部520的开孔或开槽324,第二电极220通过开孔或开槽324与电极搭接部520电连接。
例如,开槽324或开孔内包括碳元素,如开槽324或开孔内还可以包括氧 元素等。
例如,第二电极220与电极搭接部520的实际接触的面积小于开槽324的宽度,或者小于开孔的最大尺寸。
例如,图6所示示例中的电极搭接部520可以与图1A所示示例中的传输部510具有相同的作用,如将第二电极220与信号传输走线500电连接,上述电极搭接部520与传输部510可以具有相同的结构特征,也可以具有不同的结构特征,本公开实施例对此不作限制。例如,电极搭接部也可以称为辅助阴极。
在一些示例中,如图6和图7所示,至少部分电极搭接部520的延伸方向与至少部分限定部320的延伸方向相同。例如,电极搭接部520与沿第一方向延伸的限定部320交叠,则该电极搭接部520沿第一方向延伸。例如,电极搭接部520与沿第二方向延伸的限定部320交叠,则该电极搭接部520沿第二方向延伸。
例如,至少部分电极搭接部520与至少部分限定部320交叠。例如,限定部320覆盖电极搭接部520的边缘。
例如,围绕一个开口的至少一侧的电极搭接部520在衬底基板100上的正投影位于限定部320在衬底基板100上的正投影内,可以缓解显示基板各位置电压降导致的不均匀。
例如,如图6和图7所示,限定部320中开槽324的延伸方向与限定部320的延伸方向相同,且开槽324的延伸方向与被其暴露的电极搭接部520的延伸方向相同。
例如,如图6所示,限定部320包括沿第一方向延伸且沿第二方向排列的多个第一子限定部321以及位于相邻第一子限定部321之间的沿第二方向延伸的第二子限定部322,相邻第一子限定部321之间设置的多个第二子限定部322沿第一方向排列。例如,沿第二方向排列的第二子限定部322位于一条直线上。
例如,一个第一子限定部321中设置的开槽324可以沿第一方向贯穿该第一子限定部321,也可以仅位于该第一子限定部321中的部分位置,没有贯穿该第一子限定部321。例如,一个第一子限定部321中可以设置一条沿第一方向延伸的开槽324,也可以设置多条开槽324,多条开槽324可以如图6所示沿第一方向延伸且沿第二方向排列,也可以沿第一方向延伸且沿第一方向间隔排列。
例如,一个第二子限定部322中设置的开槽324可以沿第二方向贯穿该第 二子限定部322,也可以仅位于该第二子限定部322中的部分位置,没有贯穿该第二子限定部322。例如,一个第二子限定部322中可以设置一条沿第二方向延伸的开槽324,也可以设置多条开槽324,多条开槽324可以如图6所示沿第二方向延伸且沿第一方向排列,也可以沿第二方向延伸且沿第二方向间隔排列。例如,沿第二方向排列的相邻两个第二子限定部322之间设置有一个第一子限定部321,第二子限定部322中设置的开槽324可以贯通第一子限定部321,也可以仅位于第二子限定部322中,如没有贯通第二子限定部322,如与第一子限定部321之间设置有间隔。
例如,图6示意性的示出每个第一子限定部321和每个第二子限定部322均设置开槽324,且每个子限定部中设置有两个开槽324,环状限定部323中没有设置开槽,但本公开实施例不限于此,例如,本公开实施例的一示例中,仅第一子限定部设置开槽,第二子限定部和环状限定部没有设置开槽;例如,本公开实施例的一示例中,仅第二子限定部设置开槽,第一子限定部和环状限定部没有设置开槽;例如,本公开实施例的一示例中,某一区域的第一子限定部和第二子限定部设置有开槽,其他区域的第一子限定部没有设置开槽;例如,本公开实施例的一示例中,某一区域第一子限定部设置有开槽,其他区域第二子限定部设置开槽。例如,第一子限定部和第二子限定部形成的开槽可以形成联通的网格状。
例如,不同第一子限定部中设置的开槽的数量可以相同,也可以不同。例如,不同第二子限定部中设置的开槽的数量可以相同,也可以不同。例如,一个第一子限定部中设置的开槽的数量与一个第二子限定部中设置的开槽的数量可以相同,也可以不同。
例如,如图7所示,开槽324中仅设置第二电极220。例如,图案化形成的限定部230设置有开槽324,在形成发光功能层230后,开槽324中填充了发光功能层;在形成第二电极220之前,采用激光去除开槽324内的至少部分发光功能层230,以使开槽324暴露电极搭接部520,第二电极220的部分形成在开槽324中以与电极搭接部520连接。
在一些示例中,如图6和图7所示,显示基板还包括信号传输线500,位于第一电极210面向衬底基板100的一侧。显示基板包括显示区以及围绕显示区的周边区(参考图1A所示的显示区101和周边区102),信号传输线500位于周边区,第二电极220通过电极搭接部520与信号传输线500电连接。
例如,如图6和图7所示,电极搭接部520延伸至周边区以与信号传输线500电连接。例如,电极搭接部520可以形成为网格状。
例如,如图6和图7所示,以第一子限定部321为例,每个第一子限定部321设置有两个开槽324,两个开槽324将每个第一子限定部321划分三个部分,第一子限定部321中,位于中间的一部分的最大厚度大于位于两侧的两部分的最大厚度。例如,第一子限定部321中,位于中间的一部分的远离衬底基板100一侧的表面比光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧的表面更远离衬底基板100,位于两侧的两部分中的至少一部分的远离衬底基板100一侧的表面比光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧的表面更靠近衬底基板100。
例如,如图6和图7所示,光转换层240覆盖第一子限定部321中位于两侧的两部分中的至少一部分。例如,第一子限定部321中位于两侧的两部分的最大厚度可以相同,也可以不同。例如,第二子限定部322可以设置有与第一子限定部321具有相同特征的三部分。当然,本公开实施例不限于各子限定部中设置图7所示的三部分,在开槽数量为1个时,各子限定部可以包括两部分,两部分的最大厚度可以相同,也可以不同;在开槽数量为1个时,各子限定部可以包括两部分,两部分中的至少一个部分可以设置为台阶结构,该台阶结构中位于中间的部分最大厚度更大;在开槽数量为3个时,各子限定部可以包括四部分,其中位于中间的至少一个部分的最大厚度大于位于边缘的至少一个部分的最大厚度。
本公开实施例提供的显示基板中,通过在像素限定图案的限定部中设置开槽以使发光元件的第二电极通过开槽与电极搭接部电连接,有利于提高第二电极与电极搭接部的电连接效果。此外,通过将限定部中的至少一个子限定部设置为三部分,中间部分的最大厚度大于两侧的两部分的最大厚度,有利于实现限定部限定的开口中填充了光转换层的同时,第二电极具有良好的连续性。
在一些示例中,如图7所示,电极搭接部520包括至少一层与第一电极210同层设置的膜层。例如,第一电极210可以包括多层膜层,电极搭接部520可以为一层膜层,电极搭接部520可以与第一电极210中的一层膜层在同一步图案化工艺中形成。
例如,如图7所示,电极搭接部520与第一电极210间隔且绝缘设置。

例如,如图8B所示,位于中间限定部031上的第二电极220与位于两侧限定部032上的第二电极220为断开的结构,通过在中间限定部031与两侧限定部032之间设置开槽324,且在形成第二电极220之前将开槽324中的发光功能层230去除,可以使得第二电极220可以形成在开槽324内,以与电极搭接部520电连接。
例如,同图8B所示示例相同,图7、图9至图15所示限定部中,位于中间限定部上的第二电极220与位于两侧限定部上的第二电极220为断开的结构,通过在中间限定部与两侧限定部之间设置开槽324,且在形成第二电极220之前将开槽324中的发光功能层230去除,可以使得第二电极220可以形成在开槽324内,以与电极搭接部520电连接。
图9为根据本公开实施例另一示例沿图6所示EE’线所截的局部截面结构示意图。图9所示示例中的显示基板与图7所示示例中的显示基板的不同之处在于电极搭接部520的结构不同。图9所示示例中的显示基板中的衬底基板、发光元件、像素限定图案、第一绝缘层等结构可以与图7所示示例中的显示基板中的衬底基板、发光元件、像素限定图案、第一绝缘层等结构具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。

例如,如图11所示,沿垂直于衬底基板100的方向,平坦层凸出部610与发光元200的发光区没有交叠。
图12为根据本公开实施例另一示例沿图6所示EE’线所截的局部截面结构示意图。图12所示示例中的显示基板与图11所示示例中的显示基板的不同之处在于平坦层600的结构不同。图12所示显示基板中电极搭接部的位置可以与图11所示显示基板中电极搭接部的位置相同,也可以与图7至图10所示任一示例中的显示基板中电极搭接部的位置相同,本示例对此不作限制。图12所示示例中的显示基板中的衬底基板、发光元件以及像素限定图案等结构与图10所示衬底基板以及发光元件以及像素限定图案等结构具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。

例如,平坦层设置凹槽的位置与没有设置凹槽为位置的厚度之比可以为0.1~0.9。例如,平坦层设置凹槽的位置与没有设置凹槽为位置的厚度之比可以为0.15~0.7。例如,平坦层设置凹槽的位置与没有设置凹槽为位置的厚度之比可以为0.2~0.85。例如,平坦层设置凹槽的位置与没有设置凹槽为位置的厚度之比可以为0.25~0.75。例如,平坦层设置凹槽的位置与没有设置凹槽为位置的厚度之比可以为0.3~0.85。例如,平坦层设置凹槽的位置与没有设置凹槽为位置的厚度之比可以为0.4~0.5。例如,平坦层设置凹槽的位置与没有设置凹槽为位置的厚度之比可以为0.35~0.65。例如,平坦层设置凹槽的位置与没有设置凹槽为位置的厚度之比可以为0.55~0.6。
本公开实施例提供的显示基板,通过在平坦层中设置凹槽,且将电极搭接部设置在相邻凹槽之间的间隔处,相当于将电极搭接部的位置设置的较高,有利于发光元件的第二电极与电极搭接部的搭接。
例如,如图12所示,发光功能层230远离衬底基板100一侧表面可以比电极搭接部520远离衬底基板100一侧表面更远离衬底基板100。
图13为根据本公开实施例另一示例沿图6所示EE’线所截的局部截面结构示意图。图13所示示例中的显示基板与图12所示示例中的显示基板的不同之处在于平坦层600中的凹槽620的深度不同。图13没有示意出平坦层600与衬底基板100之间的膜层,图13中平坦层600与衬底基板100之间设置的膜层可以参考图12所示平坦层600与衬底基板100之间设置的膜层。
例如,如图13所示,发光功能层230远离衬底基板100一侧表面的至少部分可以比电极搭接部520远离衬底基板100一侧表面更靠近衬底基板100。例如,发光功能膜层230包括的多个膜层的至少部分膜层比电极搭接部520更靠近衬底基板100。例如,第二电极220位于凹槽620中的至少部分比电极搭接部520更靠近衬底基板100。
例如,如图13所示,沿垂直于衬底基板100的方向,像素限定图案的开口310与凹槽620交叠。例如,光转换层240在平坦层600上的正投影的至少部分位于凹槽620内。例如,光转换层240在平坦层600上的正投影完全位于凹槽620内。
例如,图13所示示例提供的显示基板中限定部320的最大厚度可以小于图7至图12所示示例提供的显示基板中限定部320的最大厚度。
本公开实施例的一示例中,通过在平坦层中设置凹槽,且将发光功能层的至少部分膜层远离衬底基板一侧表面设置为比电极搭接部远离衬底基板一侧表面更靠近衬底基板,可以在实现光转换层完全位于限定部限定的开口内的同时,尽量降低限定部的高度,以提高第二电极的连续性。
图14和图15为根据本公开实施例不同示例沿图6所示EE’线所截的局部截面结构示意图。图14和图15所示示例中的显示基板与图13所示示例中的显示基板的不同之处在于平坦层600中的凹槽620中设置有透明补偿结构630。图14和图15所示示例中的显示基板的不同之处在于透明补偿结构630的位置不同。图14和图15所示显示基板中的衬底基板、第一绝缘层、发光功能层、像素限定图案、第一电极等结构可以与图13所示显示基板中的衬底基板、第一绝缘层、发光功能层、像素限定图案、第一电极等结构具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。
在一些示例中,如图14和图15所示,显示基板还包括透明补偿结构630,位于光转换层240与凹槽620底部之间。
本示例提供的显示基板中,通过在凹槽与光转换层之间填充透明补偿结构,可以尽量使得光转换层形成在一个较为平坦的表面上,以提高形成在凹槽内的光转换层的平坦度,提高显示效果。
例如,如图14所示,透明补偿结构630可以位于第一电极210与平坦层600之间。
例如,如图15所示,透明补偿结构630可以位于光转换层240与第二电极210之间。
例如,如图15所示,透明补偿结构630可以为第一绝缘层400中的一部分膜层,如第一绝缘层400可以为封装层,该封装层中位于凹槽620的部分的厚度大于位于凹槽620以外位置处的厚度。例如,位于凹槽620内的封装层可以包括有机封装层。
例如,透明补偿结构630也可以为透镜。
当然,本公开实施例不限于在凹槽中填充透明补偿结构以提高光转换层的中间部分的平坦度,还可以通过分层形成光转换层以提高光转换层的中间部分的平坦度。
在一些示例中,如图13至图15所示,凹槽620的侧壁621倾斜设置,且侧壁621中远离衬底基板100的部分比靠近衬底基板100的部分更远离凹槽 620内设置的发光元件的发光区的中心。例如,凹槽620的侧壁向外侧倾斜。上述外侧指凹槽围绕的发光元件中心指向边缘一侧。
例如,凹槽620的侧壁621被垂直于衬底基板100的平面(如XZ面)所截的图案可以为直线,也可以为曲线。
本公开实施例的一示例,通过将平坦层内凹槽侧壁倾斜设置,有利于增加整面出光效率。
图16至图17B为根据本公开实施例的不同示例提供的显示基板的局部平面结构示意图。图16至图17B所示示例中的显示基板与图6所示示例中的显示基板的不同之处在于图16至图17B所示显示基板中的限定部320包括开孔325。例如,发光元件的第二电极可以通过多个开孔325与电极搭接部520电连接。图16至图17B所示示例中的显示基板的不同之处在于发光元件的发光区的形状不同。图16至图17B所示示例中的显示基板中的衬底基板、限定部以及发光元件等特征可与上述示例中的显示基板中的衬底基板、限定部以及发光元件等特征相同,在此不再赘述。
例如,如图16至图17B所示,可以仅在与开孔325对应位置设置电极搭接部520,也可以设置延伸方向与限定部320延伸方向相同的电极搭接部520。
本公开实施例提供的显示基板中,通过采用在限定部中设置多个开孔的方式,可以在提高第二电极与电极搭接部电连接效果的同时,尽量避免第二电极与电极搭接部连接位置处与第一电极短路或者漏电的问题的发生。
例如,至少部分开孔325中,第二电极220与电极搭接部520的部分的中心与开孔325的中心不重合。例如,至少部分开孔325中,第二电极220与电极搭接部520的部分的面积小于开孔325在电极搭接部520上的正投影的面积。
例如,如图16所示,沿行方向排列的开孔325可以等间距排列,且沿行方向排列的开孔325位于同一直线;沿列方向排列的开孔325也可以等间距排列,沿列方向排列的开孔325可以位于同一直线。
例如,沿行方向排列的开孔325之间的间距与沿列方向排列的开孔325之间的间距可以相同。
例如,部分开孔325可以为盲孔,即开孔325中的发光功能层不去除,第二电极不在盲孔位置与电极搭接部搭接。通过设置盲孔有利于提高工艺效率。
在一些示例中,如图16至图17A所示,相邻不同颜色发光元件200的发光区之间的间隔和相邻相同颜色发光元件200之间的间隔中尺寸最大的间隔与 开孔325交叠。
例如,如图16至图17A所示,彼此相邻的第一发光元件201所在列与第三发光元件203所在列存在发光区之间的尺寸最大的间隔204,该间隔204处设置有开孔325,有利于避免第二电极与电极搭接部连接位置处与第一电极短路或者漏电的问题的发生。
上述“所在列”指沿Y方向排列的多个第一发光元件为一列,沿Y方向排列的多个第二发光元件为一列,沿Y方向排列的多个第三发光元件为一列。
当然,本公开实施例不限于此,例如,如图17A所示,第三发光元件203所在列与第二发光元件202所在列之间的尺寸最大的间隔205位置处也可以设置开孔325。例如,间隔205的最大尺寸小于间隔204的最大尺寸。
例如,如图16至图17A所示,相邻不同颜色发光元件之间可以设置开孔325。例如,相邻相同颜色发光元件之间也可以设置开孔325。例如,相邻相同颜色发光元件的发光区之间间隔尺寸最大位置处可以设置开孔325。例如,相邻不同颜色发光元件的发光区之间间隔尺寸最小位置处可以设置开孔325。
例如,如图17B所示,第一发光元件201可以为红色发光元件,第二发光元件202可以为绿色发光元件,第三发光元件203可以为蓝色发光元件。例如,绿色发光元件202的发光区的形状可以为六边形或者八边形。例如,绿色发光元件202的发光区的形状可以为轴对称图形,如对称轴沿Y方向延伸。例如,蓝色发光元件203和红色发光元件201至少之一的发光区的形状可以为八边形,如蓝色发光元件203和红色发光元件201至少之一的发光区在Y方向上可以为非对称图形。例如,多个发光元件200可以排列为两个子发光元件行,一个子发光元件行包括沿行方向(如X方向)交替排列的红色发光元件201和蓝色发光元件203,另一个子发光元件行包括沿行方向排列的绿色发光元件202,在行方向上,相邻两个绿色发光元件202的发光区之间的距离大于相邻蓝色发光元件203和红色发光元件201的发光区之间的距离,开孔325设置在行方向上相邻两个绿色发光元件202的发光区之间。例如,在列方向(如Y方向)排列的相邻红色发光元件201的发光区之间的距离和在列方向排列的相邻蓝色发光元件203的发光区之间的距离的至少之一大于在在列方向排列的相邻绿色发光元件202的发光区之间的距离,开孔325可以设置在列方向排列的相邻红色发光元件201的发光区之间。
图18为根据本公开实施例的另一示例中沿图1A所示AA’线所截的局部截 面结构示意图。图18所示示例中的显示基板与图2所示示例中的显示基板的区别在于:显示基板还包括隔垫物(PS)340,位于限定部320中的至少部分远离衬底基板100一侧的表面。
例如,隔垫物340位于限定部320与第二电极220之间。例如,隔垫物340被配置为支撑制作发光功能层的蒸镀掩模板。
例如,隔垫物340在衬底基板100上的正投影完全位于限定部320在衬底基板100上的正投影内。
例如,如图18所示,光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧表面比限定部320远离衬底基板100一侧表面更远离衬底基板100。例如,光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧表面比隔垫物340远离衬底基板100一侧的表面更靠近衬底基板100。
通过在限定部远离衬底基板一侧表面设置隔垫物,可以采用隔垫物形成的开口限定光转换层,将像素限定图案的限定部的最大厚度设置的小于光转换层的厚度,有利于提高第二电极的连续性。
例如,像素限定图案中第一子限定部的最大厚度和第二子限定部的最大厚度基本相同。例如,仅第一子限定部321以及环状限定部323远离衬底基板100一侧表面设置有隔垫物340,第二子限定部322远离衬底基板100一侧表面没有设置隔垫物340。
例如,限定部320中未设置隔垫物340的位置可以设置图6所示示例中的开槽,如第一子限定部321未设置隔垫物340的位置可以设置开槽以使第二电极220与电极搭接部电连接。
例如,隔垫物340沿平行于衬底基板100的方向上的尺寸小于限定部320沿该方向上的尺寸,有利于提高形成在限定部以及隔垫物上的第二电极的连续性。
图19为根据本公开实施例的另一示例中沿图1A所示AA’线所截的局部截面结构示意图。图19所示示例中的显示基板与图2所示示例中的显示基板的区别在于:限定部320包括层叠设置的第一限定部3201和第二限定部3202,第一限定部3201位于第二限定部3202靠近衬底基板100的一侧,光转换层240靠近衬底基板100的表面比与第二限定部3202的至少部分远离衬底基板100的表面更靠近衬底基板100。本示例提供的显示基板中的发光元件、衬底基板、第一绝缘层等结构可以与图2至图17A所示任意示例中的显示基板中的发光元 件、衬底基板以及第一绝缘层等结构具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。
例如,如图19所示,第一限定部3201远离衬底基板100一侧表面比光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧表面更靠近衬底基板100,第二限定部3202远离衬底基板100一侧表面比光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧表面更远离衬底基板100,第一限定部3201限定的开口311可以用于限定发光功能层230,第二限定部3202限定的开口312可以用于限定光转换层240。
本示例提供的显示基板通过将限定部设置为层叠设置的第一限定部和第二限定部,有利于提高限定部整体的厚度以形成用于限定光转换层的开口区域,有利于光转换层厚度的灵活设置。
例如,第一限定部3201限定的开口311在衬底基板100上的正投影的最大尺寸可以小于第二限定部3202限定的开口312在衬底基板100上的正投影的最大尺寸。当然,本公开实施例不限于此,开口311在衬底基板100上的正投影的最大尺寸也可以大于或者等于开口312在衬底基板100上的正投影的最大尺寸。
例如,如图19所示,在垂直于衬底基板100的方向上,第一限定部3201的最大尺寸可以大于第二限定部3202的最大尺寸。
在一些示例中,如图19所示,第一限定部3201与第二限定部3202之间设置有第一绝缘层400。例如,第一限定部3201与第二限定部3202之间还设置有第二电极220。例如,第一限定部3201与第二限定部3202之间还设置有发光功能层230。
本示例通过将限定部设置为层叠设置的第一限定部和第二限定部,且第一限定部和第二限定部之间设置有第一绝缘层,如封装层,可以在限定部整体厚度较大以形成限定光转换层的开口的同时,将第一限定部的厚度设置的较小,以提高形成在第一限定部上的第二电极的连续性。
例如,图19示意性的示出第一限定部3201的厚度大于第二限定部3202的厚度,但不限于此,第一限定部的厚度可以小于第二限定部的厚度以进一步提高形成在第一限定部上的第二电极的连续性。
例如,如图19所示限定部可以包括图2至图3所示示例中厚度不同的第一子限定部和第二子限定部,或者包括图5所示示例中的第一子限定部和第二子限定部,或者包括图6所示开槽以及与开槽相对设置的电极搭接部,或者包括图16所示开孔以及与开孔相对设置的电极搭接部,或者包括图18所示隔垫 物,本示例对此不作限制。
例如,图19所示显示基板中的平坦层远离衬底基板一侧表面可以为平坦的表面,或者包括图12至图15任一项所示平坦层中的凹槽,或者包括图11所示平坦层凸出部。
图20为根据本公开实施例的另一示例中沿图1A所示AA’线所截的局部截面结构示意图。图20所示示例中的显示基板与图19所示示例中的显示基板的区别在于第一限定部3201与第二限定部3202直接接触。本示例提供的显示基板中的发光元件、衬底基板、第一绝缘层等结构可以与图2至图17A所示任意示例中的显示基板中的发光元件、衬底基板以及第一绝缘层等结构具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。
在一些示例中,如图20所示,限定部320包括层叠设置的至少两层结构。图20示意性的示出限定部320包括两层结构,但不限于此,限定部还可以包括三层或者更多层层叠设置的结构。例如,限定部包括的多层结构中的任意相邻两层直接接触,或者限定部包括的多层结构中最远离衬底基板的一层结构位于第一绝缘层远离衬底基板的一侧,或者限定部包括的多层结构中的至少两层结构位于第一绝缘层远离衬底基板的一侧。
例如,如图20所示,第一绝缘层400位于第二限定部3202远离第一限定部3201的一侧。例如,第二电极220位于第二限定部3202远离第一限定部3201的一侧。
例如,如图20所示,沿垂直于衬底基板100的方向,第一限定部3201的最大尺寸可以大于第二限定部3202的最大尺寸,但不限于此,沿垂直于衬底基板的方向,第一限定部的尺寸也可以小于或者等于第二限定部的最大尺寸。
例如,如图20所示,第二限定部3202远离衬底基板100的一侧表面形成的斜坡的坡度角可以小于第一限定部3201远离衬底基板100的一侧表面形成的斜坡的坡度角,以提高形成在第二限定部上的第二电极的连续性。
例如,图20所示层叠设置的第一限定部可以包括图11所示的开槽,第二限定部可以与开槽没有交叠,如同一第一限定部可以包括两条开槽以形成三个部分,位于中间的部分的第一限定部上设置有第二限定部,位于两侧部分的第一限定部上没有第二限定部以使得第二限定部可以暴露开槽。
例如,如图20所示,第一限定部3201和第二限定部3202被垂直于衬底基板100的平面,如XZ面所截的截面形状可以相同,如均为梯形,且梯形远 离衬底基板100一侧的底为上底,梯形靠近衬底基板100一侧的底为下底,下底的长度大于上底的长度。但本公开实施例不限于此,第一限定部和第二限定部被垂直于衬底基板的平面所截的截面的形状可以不同,如第一限定部和第二限定部之一的截面形状为梯形,另一个的截面形状为矩形;如第一限定部的形状为阶梯型,第二限定部的形状为梯形、矩形、三角形、弧形等,本公开实施例对第一限定部和第二限定部的截面形状不作限定。
例如,第二限定部3202被垂直于衬底基板100的平面所截的截面可以为梯形,且梯形斜边与下底之间的角度较小,如不大于45度,有利于增加限定发光功能层的最大开口与限定光转换层的最大开口的比例。
例如,上述第一限定部3201和第二限定部3202的材料可以相同,也可以不同。
例如,上述第一限定部3201与第二限定部3202彼此接触的两个表面中,第一限定部3201的表面沿平行于衬底基板100的方向的最大尺寸可以小于第二限定部3202的表面沿平行于衬底基板100方向的最大尺寸以形成底切结构。
图21为根据本公开实施例的另一示例中沿图1A所示AA’线所截的局部截面结构示意图。图21所示示例中的显示基板与图2所示示例中的显示基板的区别在于显示基板还包括隔离结构350,位于第二电极220与限定部320之间。本示例提供的显示基板中的发光元件、衬底基板、第一绝缘层等结构可以与图2至图17A所示任意示例中的发光元件、衬底基板以及第一绝缘层等结构具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。
在一些示例中,如图21所示,沿垂直于衬底基板100的方向,隔离结构350与限定部320交叠,且隔离结构350与限定部320的材料不同,沿相邻发光元件的排列方向,位于该相邻发光元件之间的隔离结构350中隔离结构350的边缘相对于限定部320的边缘突出以形成突出部。
例如,隔离结构350的材料包括无机非金属材料。例如,隔离结构350的材料包括氮化硅、氧化硅或者氮氧化硅中的任意一种或多种。
例如,可以通过对隔离结构350的形状进行设置以使得发光功能层230在突出部处断开,第二电极220在突出部处连续设置。例如,隔离结构350与限定部320的厚度和与发光功能层230的厚度之比为0.7~1.5。例如,隔离结构350的至少部分侧表面与平行于衬底基板100的平面的坡度角大于60度。例如,沿平行于衬底基板100的方向,突出部的尺寸不小于0.01微米。例如,隔离结 构350远离衬底基板100一侧表面为向衬底基板100一侧弯曲的弯曲表面。
例如,如图21所示,光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧表面比限定部320远离衬底基板100一侧表面更远离衬底基板100。例如,光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧表面比隔离结构350远离衬底基板100一侧的表面更靠近衬底基板100。
通过在限定部远离衬底基板一侧表面设置隔离结构,可以隔离结构形成的开口区域限定光转换层,将像素限定图案的限定部的最大厚度设置的小于光转换层的厚度,有利于提高第二电极的连续性。
例如,像素限定图案中第一子限定部的最大厚度和第二子限定部的最大厚度基本相同。例如,仅第一子限定部321以及环状限定部323远离衬底基板100一侧表面设置有隔离结构350,第二子限定部322远离衬底基板100一侧表面没有设置隔离结构350。
例如,限定部320和隔离结构350中可以设置图6所示的开槽324以使第二电极220与电极搭接部电连接。
例如,隔离结构350沿平行于衬底基板100的方向上的尺寸小于限定部320沿该方向上的尺寸,有利于提高形成在限定部以及隔垫物上的第二电极的连续性。
图22至图26为不同示例提供的显示基板中的限定部的局部截面结构示意图。例如,如图22至图26所示,限定部320可以为一层结构。当然本公开实施例不限于此,限定部还可以包括形成图22至图26任一形状的多层层叠设置的结构。
在一些示例中,如图22至图26所示,限定部320被位于其两侧的相邻两个发光元件200的发光区中心连线所在平面所截的截面为限定部截面3200,限定部截面3200的形状包括梯形或者阶梯状,平面垂直于衬底基板100。例如,该平面可以为XZ面。
例如,如图22所示,限定部截面3200的形状可以为梯形,梯形的上底比下底更靠近衬底基板100,如倒梯形。例如,限定部320远离衬底基板100一侧的表面在X方向上的尺寸大于限定部320靠近衬底基板100一侧的表面在X方向上的尺寸。通过将限定部截面的形状形成为倒梯形,可以使得限定发光功能层的最大开口的尺寸大于限定光转换层的最大开口的尺寸,避免不同颜色光串色。例如,为了进一步避免串色,还可以在限定部侧表面或者内部设置反射 层或者反射粒子。
例如,如图23所示,限定部截面3200的形状可以为阶梯状。通过将限定部截面的形状形成为阶梯状,可以使得限定发光功能层的最大开口的尺寸小于限定光转换层的最大开口的尺寸,可以让发光元件发出的光最大范围的入射到光转换层。
例如,如图24所示,限定部截面3200的形状可以为梯形,梯形的上底比下底更远离衬底基板100。例如,限定部320远离衬底基板100一侧的表面在X方向上的尺寸小于限定部320靠近衬底基板100一侧的表面在X方向上的尺寸。
例如,如图24所示,限定不同发光元件200的发光区的限定部320的限定部截面3200的形状不同,如限定第三发光元件203的限定部截面3200朝向第三发光元件203的发光区的斜边与平行于衬底基板100的平面之间的夹角小于该限定部截面3200远离第三发光元件203的发光区的斜边与该平面之间的夹角,有利于调节不同颜色发光元件出光角度以及出光效率。
例如,第三发光元件203可以为蓝色发光元件,或者红色发光元件,或者绿色发光元件。
在一些示例中,如图25和图26所示,限定部320被位于其两侧的相邻两个发光元件200的发光区中心连线所在平面所截的截面为限定部截面3200,限定部截面3200的中间部分的平行于衬底基板100的方向的尺寸大于或者小于两侧部分的平行于衬底基板100的方向的尺寸,平面垂直于衬底基板100。例如,该平面可以为XZ面。
例如,如图25所示,限定部320的限定部截面3200可以为中间内凹的结构。
例如,如图26所示,限定部320的限定部截面3200可以为中间外凸的结构。
例如,如图22至图26所示任一种形状的限定部可以包括图2至图3所示示例中厚度不同的第一子限定部和第二子限定部,或者包括图5所示示例中的第一子限定部和第二子限定部,或者包括图6所示开槽以及与开槽相对设置的电极搭接部,或者包括图16所示开孔以及与开孔相对设置的电极搭接部,或者包括图18所示隔垫物,本示例对此不作限制。
例如,如图22至图26所示显示基板中的平坦层远离衬底基板一侧表面可 以为平坦的表面,或者包括图12至图15任一项所示平坦层中的凹槽,或者包括图11所示平坦层凸出部。

例如,第二绝缘层710可以为封装光转换层240的封装层。
在一些示例中,如图27所示,第二绝缘层710包括折射粒子711。例如,折射粒子711的材料可以包括氧化锆。
通过在光转换层的出光侧设置具有折射粒子的第二绝缘层,有利于提高出光效率。
图27所示显示基板中的像素限定图案、发光元件、衬底基板、第一绝缘层等结构可以与图2至图26任一示例中的像素限定图案、发光元件、衬底基板、第一绝缘层等结构具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。
图28为根据本公开实施例的另一示例中沿图1A所示AA’线所截的局部截面结构示意图。图28所示示例中的显示基板与图27所示示例中的显示基板的区别在于显示基板还包括彩膜层720,位于第二绝缘层710远离光转换层240的一侧。
例如,如图28所示,彩膜层720包括位于发光区的部分以及位于相邻发光区的部分。例如,第一发光元件201可以为红色发光元件,彩膜层720中与第一发光元件201对应的彩膜可以为红色彩膜;第二发光元件202可以为绿色发光元件,彩膜层720中与第二发光元件202对应的彩膜可以为绿色彩膜;第三发光元件203可以为蓝色发光元件,彩膜层720中与第三发光元件203对应的材料可以为蓝色彩膜。
例如,相邻发光元件的发光区之间的限定部320上设置的彩膜层720可以层叠设置以起到滤光作用。例如,第一发光元件201的发光区和第二发光元件202的发光区之间的限定部320上设置有红色彩膜和绿色彩膜的叠层,第二发光元件202的发光区和第三发光元件203的发光区之间的限定部320上设置有绿色彩膜与蓝色彩膜的叠层。
例如,图28所示彩膜层可以采用COE(Color On Encapsulation)技术,通过在封装层上形成彩膜,以提升显示装置的对比度。
例如,如图28所示,第二绝缘层710在形成于光转换层240上以后,在与光转换层240对应位置形成凹槽,该凹槽与像素限定图案的开口正对,彩膜层720包括形成于凹槽内的部分。例如,彩膜层720靠近衬底基板100一侧表面可以为平坦的表面,彩膜层720远离衬底基板一侧的至少部分表面可以为向衬底基板100一侧凹陷的表面。
当然,本公开实施例不限于此,显示基板的显示侧可以设置盖板,上述彩膜层也可以设置在盖板面向显示基板的一侧。
图29为根据本公开另一实施例提供的显示基板。如图29所示,显示基板包括衬底基板100以及位于衬底基板100上的多个发光元件200和像素限定图案300。发光元件200包括发光功能层230以及沿垂直于衬底基板100的方向位于发光功能层230两侧的第一电极210和第二电极220,第一电极210位于发光功能层230与衬底基板100之间;像素限定图案300位于第一电极210远离衬底基板100一侧,像素限定图案300包括多个开口310以及围绕多个开口310的限定部320,发光元件200至少部分位于开口310中。至少一个发光元件200还包括光转换层240,光转换层240被配置为使得一种颜色光入射到光转换层后出射另一种颜色光,光转换层240位于第一电极210远离第二电极220的一侧。
本公开实施例提供的显示基板中,将光转换层设置在第一电极远离第二电极的一侧,可以尽量减少光转换层与发光功能层之间的距离,以提高光转换层对入射的光的转换效率。
例如,图29所示显示基板中的发光功能层230可以与图1A所示显示基板中的发光功能层230具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。
例如,图29所示显示基板中,发光元件200的第一电极210为透光电极,第二电极220为反射电极。例如,发光功能层230发出的光被第二电极220反射向第一电极210远离第二电极220的一侧,以经过光转换层240后出射。
例如,图29所示显示基板中的限定部在垂直于衬底基板100的方向上的最大尺寸,如厚度,可以设置的较小,用于限定发光元件的发光功能层形成的区域,该显示基板中,通过将限定部的厚度设置的较小,有利于提高第二电极的连续性。
例如,如图29所示,光转换层240位于衬底基板100远离第一电极210的一侧。
例如,图29所示显示基板中的光转换层240和透光功能层250可以与图1A至图2所示显示基板中的光转换层230和透光功能层250具有相同的特征,在此不再赘述。
例如,如图29所示,衬底基板100远离第一电极210的一侧设置有分隔结构800,用于限定光转换层230以及透光功能层250的位置。
例如,如图29所示,分隔结构800在衬底基板100上的正投影与限定部320在衬底基板100上的正投影交叠。
例如,如图29所示,分隔结构800形成的开口区域用于形成光转换层240和透光功能层250。
例如,图29所示显示基板中的限定部320可以设置如图2至图3所示示例中包括厚度不同的第一子限定部和第二子限定部的限定部,或者设置如图5所示示例中的第一子限定部和第二子限定部,或者设置如图6所示开槽以及与开槽相对设置的电极搭接部,或者设置如图16所示开孔以及与开孔相对设置的电极搭接部。
例如,图29所示显示基板中可以包括如图10至图15所示的平坦层。
例如,如图29所示,光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧设置衬底810。例如,光转换层240远离衬底基板100一侧表面可以为平坦表面,光转换层240靠近衬底基板100一侧表面可以为向远离衬底基板100一侧凹陷的表面。
例如,光转换层240与衬底810之间可以设置彩膜层。
例如,如图29所示,显示基板还包括位于第二电极220远离衬底基板100一侧的第一绝缘层400,该第一绝缘层400可以为封装层,封装层可以包括层叠设置的有机封装层以及无机封装层。

例如,如图30所示,发光元件发射的光从第二电极220远离衬底基板100一侧出射,对置基板20位于第二电极220远离衬底基板100的一侧。但不限于此,当发光元件发射的光从衬底基板远离第二电极一侧出射时,对置基板位于衬底基板远离第二电极的一侧。
在一些示例中,如图30所示,对置基板20面向显示基板10的一侧与光转换层240正对的位置处设置的材料层21包括与光转换层240中的材料相同的材料。
通过在对置基板设置与光转换层材料相同的材料层有利于降低对置基板的厚度,并且提高光转换效率。
例如,如图30所示,对置基板20可以包括盖板23,位于盖板21面向显示基板10一侧的分隔结构22,材料层21被分隔结构22形成的开口限定。
例如,显示装置还包括彩膜层(图中未示出),彩膜层可以设置在材料层远离显示基板的一侧。
